Keynote Speaker: Diana Lovett

Diana Lovett, Founder and CEO of Cissé Cocoa Co, will discuss her volunteer work at a children’s home in South Africa that set the
stage for her lifelong commitment to social justice. This, combined with her love
of chocolate led her to create Cissé Cocoa Co, a manufacturer of delicious snack food,
sold in over 4,000 outlets nationwide that utilizes ethically responsible organic
cocoa while supporting farmers in the Dominican Republic.

Diana will provide a compelling and thoughtful narrative about how she started and
grew Cissé Cocoa, including what worked, what didn’t work, how she sought advice and
help from a network of successful entrepreneurs in all areas of manufacturing, sales,
marketing and customer service. You will leave the session with an appreciation of what it took for a small business to develop its products, successfully get them
to market, leverage the talents of advisers and team members and fulfill an important
social mission.
